Minutes:

5.1

The Chair, on behalf of Ruth Milsom, on behalf of Sheffield Save Our NHS, asked the following questions:-

 

 

 

Test, Track, Trace, Isolate

 

 

 

Going forward now that 'test, track, trace & isolate' is being implemented - how are the concerns about compliance raised by the Sheffield Community Contact Tracers pilot programme  to be addressed?

 

 

 

What measures can be put in place locally to ensure that the TTTI scheme is sufficiently robust to prevent significant localised outbreaks?

 

 

 

How will SCC, and the Director of Public Health in particular, be working with staff, operators of care services, and trade union representatives to ensure that all those who test positive are confident in complying fully with the best practice of TTTI?

 

 

 

How will workers be reassured that self-isolating will not result in financial deprivation? How will contacts also be reassured on this point?

 

 

 

What is being done to bring employers on-side with compliance, given that they have valid concerns about the effect of contact isolation on staffing levels?

 

 

5.2

The Chair stated that the issues raised in the questions would be covered during the meeting, however if some questions were not answered, written answers would be provided.
